The prime minister highlighted that tourism does not only provide economic benefits, but also contributes to global peace and friendship.

“As countries of the world, we must take necessary precautions and cooperate in tourism” Yıldırım said.

Referring to the recent terror attacks throughout the world, Yıldırım said that all countries are threatened by terrorism, but this should not stop people from traveling as it will only benefit the terrorists who want to spread fear and paralyze daily life.
